Re: Re: OT: Lobbying college library for Knuth's "Art of Computer Programming"

Waitasecond ... let me go back a few (say 10) years to the time I was starting at the university ... so

where the heck would I buy it? How easy do you think is was to buy a computer related book in english here in Czech Republic? Yeah, I've heard there was some company where you could order a book and they'd order it from abroad and deliver it in a few months, but the price ...
yep the price. Amazon has some used at $100. Cool yeah? Well not much. That was about twice as much as my monthly income at that time. So yeah, even I could have a copy.
